Building Site 033

Many children are very satisfied with doing proper work. The Building sites give them the opportunity to realistically mimic the working world of adults. Heavy loads can be moved over a roller, sand and water can be poured into pipes or gutters, a sand wheel can be turned, the dumper box takes a load of sand and a bucket is filled. Co-operation results from carrying out a mutual purpose, while physical laws are unconsciously recognized and brought into play. The structure should stand in sand or gravel surface for ensuring the best play value.
